The report helps the reader to understand the competitive landscape of the defense industry in the
China. It provides an overview of key defense companies, both domestic and foreign, together with insights such as key alliances, strategic initiatives, and a brief financial analysis.

Key Market IssuesThe Chinese defense industry is controlled by the government, and restrictions on private and foreign companies dampen the competition in the industry. A lack of competition diminishes the need for innovation in defense equipment and related technology advancement. Barring a few industrial enterprises, the majority of organizations fail to compete with each other, which impedes the development of
China's modern indigenous defense industry as there is no incentive for companies to innovate. Furthermore, some of
China's industrial-defense enterprises form business relationships based on long-standing political ties with regions and provinces. As a result, the country fails to gain access to technological innovations and advancements in foreign countries.

A major obstacle to investment in the Chinese defense industry is the arms embargo imposed by the US and other European countries, following the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. During the review period, some European states have proposed the lift of the arms ban, but the US and
Japan have opposed this proposal due to fears that it will enable
China to enhance its military capabilities. As a result,
China's defense industry is unable to acquire sophisticated military hardware from the US or Western European countries, and this hampers the development of its military-industrial complex.

Key HighlightsChina is involved in various disputes over rights to islands in the East China Sea and
South China. In 2012, the dispute between the country and
Japan over rights to the Diaoyu islands in the East China Sea intensified the tensions between the two countries. Both the countries increased their military forces and patrol around these islands, fuelling the tensions. In addition,
China is also involved in disputes over the rights to islands in the South China Sea with
Philippines and
Vietnam.
Taiwan,
Malaysia, and
Brunei also have conflicting claims in the South China Sea, making the area a source of a potential military showdown. Such disputes and potential threats are expected to drive
China's defense expenditure over the forecast period, which is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.9%.China's ambition to dominate the world's political, military, and cultural outlook drives its efforts to rival the best military forces in the world. As such, the country has focused on modernizing its defense capabilities through the acquisition of advanced foreign weapons, significant investments in its domestic industrial technology, and upgrading its strategic nuclear force.

As Chinese homeland security is threatened by internal conflicts such as protests of separatist groups from Tibet,
Taiwan, and Xinjiang, illegal immigration, and human trafficking, the country's spending on policing and domestic surveillance of these areas surpass the nation's military budget. Furthermore, the country's authoritarian regime makes use of several homeland security technologies, such as networked surveillance cameras, biometric identification cards and facial recognition software, in order to prevent mass protests.

In order to improve its military weapons power, missiles and aircraft were the major imported products accounting for 55.5% of total defense imports. Air defense systems and engines followed them with 19.8% and 16.1% respectively of total imports. The country is focusing on improving the capabilities of nationalized companies and also inviting foreign companies to form joint ventures in non-strategic defense areas.
China is hoping to use the technology obtained from these joint ventures in developing defense equipment by its nationalized and local companies. Such orientation towards procurement of defense equipment from local companies indicates towards the reduction of defense imports.
